a very impressive ascent of a cutting edge route, no doubt about that. but as a photo ... its an uninspiringly composed bum shot the likes of which there are thousands taken every weekend! no disrespect meant, just confused at the '5' rating gache - 14/Feb/11

For me, these pictures help as Im sitting at my desk day dreaming about what I will be climbing the weekend. Not all of us are keen photographers. If a single photo makes me want to climb then i say its worth a 5. treehugga - 15/Feb/11

Gache, thats a knobbish thing to say, its 5 star because its a great photo. People like it. It may not be comp[osed in thirds but i wish i had taken it. Probably so do the thousands that takephotos like it every week. Seocan - 18/Feb/11

Good point, well made Seocan. Not everyone is a professional photographer and I'd be pretty chuffed if I took that photo and it deserves a 5 for capturing someone on a great route and putting in a great effort composed or not! Sparrowmonkey - 18/Feb/11

gache, the 5* rating is for the emotion that photo evokes - it literally made my scrote tighten. It makes me want to be there. A climbing pic that makes me want to be on the route is worth a thousand pretty pictures.Profanisaurus Rex - 19/Feb/11
